#5. Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers

What you know them from:Scott Pilgrim series of books and the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World movieCreator: Bryan Lee O’MalleyRelationship Status: Starting overWhy they’re great: Scott and Ramona meet at a time when they both need to grow up and get over different kinds of stuff. They each represent the opposite neurosis in each other and embody the idea that, while nobody is perfect, it doesn’t hurt to make a go at it.

#4. Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson

What you know them from: basically every Spider-Man story ever toldCreators: Stan Lee and Steve Ditko (Peter), Stan Lee, Steve Ditko and John Romita Sr. (Mary Jane)Relationship Status: Sometimes married, sometimes dating, sometimes seeing other peopleWhy they’re great: Mary Jane is the girl of Peter’s dreams and Peter is all the caring and stability that Mary Jane needs. Like many great literary pairs, together they make an entire person with the added bonus of being childhood sweethearts.

#3. Luke Cage and Jessica Jones

What you know them from:The Defenders, The Avengers and Marvel’s soon-to-be Netflix seriesCreators: Archie Goodwin and John Romita Sr. (Luke Cage), Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos (Jessica Jones)Relationship Status: MarriedWhy they’re great: Luke and Jessica have gone through every iteration of a relationship that you can think of – friends with benefits, dating, married, breaking up, back together, hey let’s have a child – and it has never ever felt forced. Plus, they have one of the cutest kids in comic history! Can we get more of Luke and Jessica in the comics, please, Marvel?

#2. Alana and Marko

What you know them from:Saga (seriously, you’re not reading Saga?)Creators: Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona StaplesRelationship Status: MarriedWhy they’re great: For a bunch of aliens, Alana and Marko are real people. Sometimes they’re great and sometimes they suck together, but their bond supersedes everything that comes between them and that’s the story readers get to watch unfold in Saga. Plus, they both have really striking character designs.

#1. Lois Lane and Clark Kent

What you know them from: basically every Superman story ever toldCreators: Jerry Siegel and Joe ShusterRelationship Status: Work RivalsWhy they’re great: Lois and Clark are one of the first great couples in comics (they even had a tv show named after them), they have withstood the test of time, they had a television show named after them in the ’90s and they are perfect. Lois and Clark are literary foils, in the truest sense, together making a complete person. They strengthen each others’ weaknesses and are better when they’re together.
